	The Concept of Elasticity
		So, even though the formula says that the price elasticity of demand is negative, we would say the elasticity of demand is 1.5 in the first example and 0.67 in the second.
		Elasticity measures the magnitude of an economic effect in percentages.
		Price "elastic" means the opposite: the relation is price sensitive.

		The price elasticity of supply is the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in the price.
		That is Price elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied Percentage change in price For example suppose that an increase in price from 6.00 to 6.30 raises the amount produced from 12000 to 13500.
		Price elasticity of supply = 15 percent = 1.5 10 percent 3.b.1 A percentage increase in price leads to a larger percentage increase in quantity supplied.

		While a change in the price of White-Out had a small affect on the quantity demanded of White-Out when it was first introduced, it has a much larger affect on the quantity demanded today because of the flatter or relatively more elastic demand curve.
		The price elasticity of supply is the percentage change in the quantity supplied of a good that results from a one percent change in the price of the good.
		The cross price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good that results from a one percent change in the price of another good.

		Because price and quantity demanded are inversely related to each other the price elasticity of demand coefficient is a negative number but economists ignore the minus sign in front of the coefficient and focus their attention on its absolute value.
		Price elasticity of demand is of practical importance in matters of public policy and in the setting of prices by the individual business firm.
		The price elasticity of supply depends primarily on the amount of time sellers have to adjust to a price change; supply will tend to be more price inelastic in the short run than in the long run.

		In economics, the price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to its price.
		In general, a fall in the price of a good would be expected to increase the demand, so we would expect the price elasticity of demand to be negative as above.
		It may be possible that demand for a good rises as its price rises, even under conventional economic assumptions of consumer rationality.

		The elasticity concept is used in economics to measure the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable in a number of different contexts.
		Note: The sign of N will be negative because price and quantity demanded move in opposite directions but there is a convention in economics where we ignore the negative sign and focus solely on the magnitude of the elasticity.
		Note: The sign of price elasticity of supply will always be positive since Qs and P change in the same direction so it is only the magnitude of the elasticity that we are interested in.

		The demand for bacon is relatively cross elastic with respect to changes in the price of eggs.
		Therefore, we interpret the elasticity coefficient as indicating that snail pizza and yak fat burgers are substitutes.

	Principles of Microeconomics: Section 4 Introduction
		Or, if the price of the good in question is held constant, alterations in other variables such as incomes, prices of substitute or complementary goods would shift the demand curve.
		Changes are measured in percentage terms and the price elasticity of demand equals the percentage change in quantity demand divided by the percentage change in price.
		In addition, as elasticity decreases, a greater proportion of the tax burden is passed on to the consumer and less is incurred by the producer.

	Tutor2u - Price Elasticity of Supply
		Price elasticity of supply measures the relationship between change in quantity supplied and a change in price.
		The value of price elasticity of supply is positive, because an increase in price is likely to increase the quantity supplied to the market and vice versa.
		Examples include the supply of tickets for sports or musical venues, and the short run supply of agricultural products (where the yield is fixed at harvest time) the elasticity of supply = zero when the supply curve is vertical.

	Definition of Price elasticity of demand
		Price elasticity of demand is measured as the percentage change in quantity demanded that occurs in response to a percentage change in price.
		For example, if, in response to a 10% fall in the price of a good, the quantity demanded increases by 20%, the price elasticity of demand would be 20%/(− 10%) = −2.
		In general, a fall in the price of a good would be expected to increase the quantity demanded, so we would expect the price elasticity of demand to be negative as above.

		Elasticity of supply measures the change in the amount that a firm supplies in response to a change in price.

	Inelastic Demand
		If the elasticity coefficient is.5, for example, and the harvest is 10% larger than the previous year, then a 20% drop in prices will occur (assuming that the many things that we keep constant in drawing the demand curve have remained constant).
		Because this price reduction more than offsets the effect of the larger harvest, the average farmer's income drops.
		This measurement, the price elasticity of supply, has the same formula as price elasticity of demand, only the quantity in the formula will refer to the quantity that sellers will sell.

		In physics and mechanical engineering, the theory of elasticity describes how a solid object moves and deforms in response to external stress.
		An alternative meaning of elasticity is a property of an object: it undergoes elastic (as opposed to plastic) deformation in response to stress.
